This might look so convincing, and make you think that your dreams are about to be realized. Hey! rejoice not, the Amazon 30th Anniversary Scam is the new scam round the block. As you can see the link does not come from spar.com. This is a first sign that it is a fake link.

Amazon 30th Anniversary Scam- How It Works!

The free spin and win is being sent out by scammers. This is a bait to trick you into believing you have won money from Amazon. The Amazon Anniversary post has a malicious link attached to it which you are expected to click in order to claim your prize. But this is where the scam begins.

The link is a malicious one and is already flagged down by some strong browsers. When you visit it, it sends a malware to your phone, which tries to steal your personal and financial information or your credit card pin.

The scammers are however not intelligent. Amazon is currently 26 years old, it was founded July 5, 1994.

When we made enquiry with Amazon, we were told the 30th Anniversary Free Gift is fake and not from them.

What Should You Do If You Receive Phishing Texts Like This
